Problem when there is a dot in the dataset name #45

Closed anoth12 closed 3 years ago

anoth12 commented 3 years ago

the dataset that I set is 0922.9123.0001 0922.9123.0002 0922.9123.0003

when export to PNG file name is incomplete, becomes 0922.9123.0001.png 0922.png 0922.png

at the time, finally only 2 were png files namely 0922.9123.0001.png 0922.png

this happens because there is the same file name.

how to solve the problem of naming this dataset so that it is automatically replaced, for example point (.) to underscore (_)?

This looks like a native Illustrator internal issue, I suggest inputting data using underscores first, then using the Bridge Batch Rename tool to edit the file names to place the dots back in. Or you can do your entire export twice since the names are properly set if the badly-named file already exists. This 2nd option is not ideal by any means, but it's good to know this behavior.
